I quickly browsed through some few posts on the 1st page of the above discussion thread and noticed WarHeadsSE mentioned in this post that the SoC on a PogoPlug V3 has a tiny ROM to read data from SATA, SPI, then NAND, respectively, and to boot without touching the NAND storage. I know I should asked WarHeadsSE but wonder if you and/or anyone here knows a Seagate GoFLEX Home/Net device has a built-in of such an SoC to perform the same thing to allow booting off of an external SATA storage through its original/stock uboot.
